Sophia ::: Fixed Water

No female vocalist, this is the new project of Robin Proper-Sheppard, who left the States for the UK and filled the role of singer/guitarist in the semi-legendary God Machine. In its short existence (92-94), this trio released two monumental albums, in which the switch between narcotic, suffocating intense noise and utterly vulnerable moments created a dynamic never heard before (the Pumpkins managed to get rich and famous with it). The sudden death of bassist Jimmy Fernandez in the middle of '94 was the impetus for the group’s decision to call it quits. It is Jimmy’s death that stands at the centre of Fixed Water, which was released on Robin’s own label.

The guitar noise from before is nowhere to be found here, where Robin sings about death and pain, sorrow and consolation and the numbness in his emotional life against an intimate softly sad musical background. 'Is it any wonder that to me, love has no meaning?' These are lyrics filled with unanswered questions, captured in fragile melodies and music just a steel pedal away from the most melancholy form of country. Or does the steel pedal suddenly appear-or is it a figment of the imagination? Either way, what a beautiful record. - OOR (by Erik van den Berg)

Tracklist:
1 Is It Any Wonder 3:28
2 So Slow 4:41
3 Are You Happy Now 5:01
4 Another Friend 3:46
5 The Death of a Salesman 3:17
6 Last Night I Had a Dream 4:11

Bowery Electric ::: Lushlife

Bowery Electric have been said to defy easy definition, but Lushlife, the final release by New York City Kranky comtemporaries Lawrence Chandler and Martha Schwendener proudly advertises its dizzying and seductive trip-hop roots. Schwedener's voice is heavily reminiscent of Beth Gibbons of Portishead rapport, only softer and more breathy. As a whole, really, Lushlife could be compared to a softer, breathier version of Portishead's Dummy. Where the latter excels in industrialism, the former excels in fluidity. Songs veer regularly into ambience, drawing images of cities late at night, lit up but devoid of any life, of walking along a corridor by oneself with nothing but concrete in plain view.

Tracklist:
1. Floating World
2. Lushlife
3. Shook Ones
4. Psalms of Survival
5. Soul City
6. Freedom Fighter
7. Saved
8. Deep Blue
9. After Landing
10. Passages

Low ‎::: Murderer

Interesting release in the Vinyl Films 10" series, the Low title-track is a far more sparse and stripped-down affair compared to the version which appears on Drums And Guns. The difference is immediately noticeable; like a demo-take, it has a simple charm. But the real treat is on the B-side with the sprawling From Your Place On Sunset. Long and ambling - plenty of mood and atmosphere, like the best Low songs - and with a fantastic guitar that fuzzes and pops in all the right places. Overall, a very moving EP when deployed at the right time.

Tracklist:
1- Murderer    
2- Silver Rider    
3- From Your Place On Sunset

Bowery Electric ::: Bowery Electric

Bowery Electric's debut full-length album was a droning, atmospheric affair. Guitars, drums, and hushed vocals suggest a definite Slowdive influence, but Bowery Electric approached the shoegazer sound with more moodiness, tension, and space rock ethics. "Next to Nothing" and "Long Way Down" almost sound like Just for a Day-era Slowdive letting off steam; the distorted guitars and gentle drums of both tracks never sound lush, as there's an undercurrent of confusion and discomfort in the way the instruments mix. The music brings to mind imagery of rainy days or starless nights. There's not really a stab at traditional song structure with any of the tracks. "Another Road" sees vocalist Martha Schwendener nearly speaking her vocals, and she sounds quite caught up in the dreamy music that surrounds her. Neither Schwendener nor Lawrence Chandler seem to care if their vocals are audible or understood; their voices simply become additional instruments, as is common with shoegazer music. There are ample pace changes to be found throughout the album's nine tracks. "Over and Over" is a slow-burning, quiet number, which is immediately followed by the tense, dark "Deep Sky Objects." "Deep Sky Objects" sounds more than a bit like a Joy Division song, if not for the dreamy, processed vocals. Bowery Electric works equally well with short, moody song fragments (on "Sounds in Motion" and "Over and Over") as with grand, drawn-out movements (on "Next to Nothing" and "Slow Thrills"). "Drift Away" is an ambient joy. It's quite an achievement that the album, at over 50 minutes, never gets boring or even less than compelling, even though there's not much variation in mood from track to track and within individual songs. Despite the fact that the band is the sum of its influences, the album is quite fresh and interesting throughout.

Tracklist:
1. Sounds in Motion
2. Next to Nothing
3. Long Way Down
4. Another Road
5. Over and Over
6. Deep Sky Objects
7. Slow Thrills
8. Out of Place

Bowery Electric ::: Beat

This is Bowery Electric's best album--they have always been a blend of shoegazer/My Bloody Valentine, and trip-hop--this album has the best amalgam of the two, while their two other albums lean too far one way or another--The vocals have been called boring and monotonous by Bowery-haters, but they're missing the point--this band is about music seamlessly emerging from a background--like you could turn on the stereo and there would be no discrete moment when one would say, "ok the music's on"--the music is emergent from the ambient noises of life--this is an excellent "study" album--especially track 8 (one of my fave songs of the past few years)--"words are just noise," goes one of the opening lines of the album--you get the sense that this minimalism (see the gargantuan last track(I fall asleep to it every night))is saying something about music in general--like they don't dare to be so loud as to assume to be changing anything, but are rather taking the sounds of the world around and gently guiding them into some pattern--a gardener lets a tree be a tree, but by placing it and pruning it, can achieve a rather powerful effect--Bowery Electric aren't creating the sounds of their album, but rather channel the constant flow of sound around them.

Tracklist:
1. Beat
2. Empty Words
3. Without Stopping
4. Under the Sun
5. Fear of Flying
6. Looped
7. Black Light
8. Inside Out
9. Coming Down

Auburn Lull ::: Alone I Admire

If you have never heard this album then I must say that I kind of envy you.  It's one of those magical albums that you keep going back to.  Great for come downs from those all-nighters, or just great at any time you want to chill and let music wash over you.  Not really music you sit down and listen to, more the kind of magic that takes you out. Takes more than one listen but seriously, you don't know what you are missing until you try it.

Tracklist:
1. Stockard Drive
2. Desert
3. Old Mission
4. Blur My Thoughts Again
5. Early Evening Reverie
6. The Last Beat
7. Tidal
8. Between Trains
9. Finland Station
10. Untitled

The For Carnations ::: Promised Works

Originally released by Matador as "Marshmallows" and "Fight Songs", these long out of print recordings are repackaged and renamed. Conceived in the early 90s, The For Carnation was the vanity project of Brian McMahan (Slint vocalist) and it conducted a number of earnest experiments with ultra-music, as the recordings contain here demonstrate. The results are curious and quietly compelling. Over the course of three releases, McMahan garnered contributions from David Pajo (Slint), Doug McCombs and John Herndon (Tortoise), Tim Ruth (Evergreen), and brother Michael McMahan (Dead Child), among others.

Tracklist:
1- Grace Beneath The Pines
2- How I Beat The Devil
3- Get And Stay Get March
4- On The Swing
5- I wear the Gold
6-  Lmyr, Marshmallow
7- Winter Lair
8- Salo
9- Preparing To Receive You
